New spy photos of the Skoda Octavia have emerged online showing a Virtual Cockpit replacing the saloon’s conventional instrument cluster.

This new feature will likely be reserved only for Octavia’s top-end L&K variant. This will make Octavia the very first car in the D+ saloon segment to have this premium feature. In fact, no vehicle under Rs 30 lakh has this as of now!

A Virtual Cockpit is a high-definition TFT screen that replaces a car’s normal instrument cluster. It has a customisable layout allowing users to display additional information like navigation alongside the basics which include speed, RPM, fuel level, etc.

Since Octavia is about to launch with Virtual Cockpit, it makes it inevitable for higher-end Skodas (Superb and Kodiaq) to adopt this feature very soon as well.

Addition of this feature might result in a slight price bump on the Skoda Octavia L&K. Since the updated model is rumoured to have started arriving in showrooms, an official announcement may be imminent.
